Natascha
For Natascha, the mountains of South Tyrol are far more than just a hiking backdrop. Having explored the region’s Dolomites, alpine meadows, and peaceful trails for many years, she loves sharing her passion and deep knowledge with her guests.
What she particularly loves about South Tyrol is its unique blend of Alpine tradition, Italian joie de vivre, and the breathtaking scenery of the Dolomites.
Her hikes are about much more than simply walking — they are about discovery. How were the Dolomites formed? What makes South Tyrol so unique? And how do Austrian and Italian influences continue to shape the region’s culture, language, and cuisine today?
With warmth, calmness, and a natural feel for the group, Natascha creates an atmosphere where nature, enjoyment, and togetherness take centre stage.
Iuliana
I grew up in Romania, where I discovered my passion for the mountains in the wild landscapes of the Carpathians. That passion later led me across many of Europe’s mountain ranges and shaped the way I experience nature and adventure.
After several years working as an engineer in an office environment, I decided to turn my passion into a profession — one where I could share both my experience and my love for the outdoors with others.
For more than 10 years, I have been based in Chamonix, living close to nature and the mountains that inspire me every day. I continue to guide and work in the outdoors with the same enthusiasm and pleasure as when I first began.
Chloe
Born in Chamonix, I grew up surrounded by these magnificent mountains.
As a professional ski racer, I traveled the world competing at the highest level and ended my career at the 2010 Olympic Games in Vancouver.
The Olympics marked a major turning point in my life. After years of intense training and competition, I decided to take a different approach to sports and the mountains.
My focus as a certified ski instructor and mountain leader are now on sharing what I love most—skiing and hiking in the Alps—by creating unforgettable experiences for my guests.
